Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Pheasant, No. 2:06-cr-00025-MR-1 (W.D.N.C. Aug. 1, 2024). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 2
